Part B – (1x8 = 8)
6. (a)For the given velocity profile as (u/U)=2n-n2 where n=(y/δ).Determine the displacement
thickness, momentum thickness, energy and shape factor. Where δ is boundary layer thickness (8)
7.(a)(i)Derive blasius equation for an incompressible flow over a flat plate. (10)
(ii) What is meant by separation of boundary layer. With a neat sketch, illustrate such flow over an
airfoil and convex surface. (6)
(Or)
(b) Consider a flow over a small plate which is 8cm long in the flow direction and 1 m wide.The
free stream condition correspond to standard sea level,and the flow velocity is 120m/s. Assuming
laminar flow,Calculate the boundary layer thickness at the downstream edge and drag force on the
plate. For the same flow over the same plate, assume that the boundary layer is now completely
turbulent. Calculate the boundary layer thickness at the trailing edge and the drag force on the plate.

8. (a) From the Navier-Stokes equation establish the 2-dimentional boundary layer equations.(16)
(Or)
(b) Air moves(u) at 60kmph uniformly towards a flat plate at zero angle of attack. Calculate the
(i)Boundary layer thickness (δ)
(ii) Displacement thickness (θ)
(iii) Momentum thickness at a section 22cm from the leading ledge of a flate plate. Assume the
velocity profile in the boundary layer in the form u=U[1.5y / δ -0.5(y/δ)3].
